Today, in the so-called era of anxiety, depression is one of the most common diseases.

Do not suffer from depression to modern people is simply indecent. It is the same as believing in God and not reading prayers.

The first antidepressants appeared about 50 years ago. But it soon became clear that they have many side effects - dry mouth, constipation, sweating, weakness, insomnia and obesity. Worst of all, they caused heart rhythm disturbances, liver and kidney problems, and decreased potency.

Antidepressant new generation Prozac became a real miracle, as it had no side effects.

In the US, a powerful drug for the treatment of severe mental disorders is used as a means of improving mood. A huge disadvantage, perhaps, is that the pills are very addictive. Many people who have decided to stop using the medicine have experienced “breaking up”.
